On September 9, 1870, the County Superintendent, 
A.M. Ohoat, -nakes the following explanation: 

"In the belief that a greater knowledge In regard 
to our city schools T»ould inspire greater interest therein, 
the following statement is mBdat 

"The school board have a .opted and pi' ced in the 
hands of every teacher and ft lly, rules and regul-tlons 
for the govern-ient of the public schools. The ?>rlnclpnl 
object l3 to secure punctuality, proper dlllirence ond 
deport-Tcnt on the port of teachers and pupils. 

"A classicol coarse of study has oloo be* n odoptod 
connirting of Q primary, a secondoyy, and a high sc" ool, with 
proper grades in each. The Introduction of these regulntiona 
and this course of study Is nov- ne^^r expori nent. IViey have 
been in succersful operation in some of the tert schools In

classification of the pupils end In the inaugui'ation of those 



reculntions but these tnuat be suoinlttcd to. If we would hav«

But you will find that oftlmes when the vay seems 
unobstructed and free, a single step 'tis:' find you 
surrounded by difficulties ns une:<pected and numerous 
as .vhen the whistle of Koderick Dhu, 

"Manned the unlnhn cited ;Tlen,

transforms difficulties into wealth, as the oyster converts 
the irritating grains of sand into shining pearls. Let 
fiurke*s motto, Nitor In adversum", be TOurs, for the- only

"Pluck bright honor from the pale-f«»ced moon. 
Or dive Int-^ the bottom of the deep 
ihere fathom line could never touch the ground. 
And drag up drovmed honor by the locks," 

who shine in r.dversity. 

There has always been a great strife between Luck 
and Pluck. The first receives the homage, offeri".gs and 
libatl ns of tho sands, but it is Pluck alone v.ho 
guarantees re^.rards. Luck refused flltiades the laurel 
wreath - the only uoon he craved - after the iF.ttle of 
Marathon-, ond for a paltry debt sr-ntenced him. to a 
dunfjeon and to chains; Pluck h'^s recorded his nnm.e am.O'^g

were highly satisfactory both to the teachers and

The new '.alsh arithj^etic is used throughout 

the grades. In the introduction to the coarse of study, 

Supt. -Stephens says: 
Arithmetic 

"Arithmetic is both a science and an art. 

As a science it touches the relation and prlncioles of 

numbers. As an art it em ;hasiBes the perations with hm 

numbers. The pupil must become familiar 7;ith both the 

art ond the science so that he may acquire both l-aiov/ledge 

and power,— nowledge that is accurate and so systematized. 

that it Is i odlately availsolc vhen needed and fsined by 

such methods that enable the pupil to attend, t|» perceive, 

to draw inferences, and to make p^eneral zations.
